What Is Negligence?

When someone is negligent, it means their disregard for safety puts others in an unsafe situation. In other words, they did not live up to their responsibility to keep others safe. For example, if a dog owner does not keep their pet on a leash, and it bites you, the owner is negligent and should be responsible for compensating you for your injury.

What to do after an accident

After you have reported your accident and resulting injury, do not talk to an insurance company representative until you have spoken with Hilado Law. We will protect you from the insurance company, which might offer you a low settlement amount right away in exchange for you giving up all future rights.

Personal Injury FAQs

To understand the severity of your personal injury, it is important to bring your questions to an experienced attorney. Here are some frequently asked questions we have had from past clients:

What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim is a formal request for compensation from one party to another for injuries that they have caused. The intent of a personal injury claim is to hold liable parties responsible for their negligent, reckless or deliberate actions so that the victim can be made financially “whole” again.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

From the date of an accident, an injured person typically has two years to file a personal injury claim in Florida. There may be some exceptions depending on the details of the claim. It is important to contact a personal injury attorney soon after your accident to begin your case.

What can I recover from a personal injury lawsuit?

In general, you can recover damages for your medical bills, property damage, lost income, pain and suffering and any other losses associated with your injuries. Each claim is unique, and the amount of compensation available will depend upon the severity of your injuries, the strength of your claim and the insurance coverage or assets of the liable parties.

Do I need a lawyer to file a personal injury claim?

A lawyer is not required, but you are unlikely to receive the maximum compensation – or even fair compensation – without one. At Hilado Law, PLLC, our lawyers are experienced and extensively trained in handling personal injury cases. We help clients explore their legal options and protect them against the mechanisms of insurance companies that try to avoid liability.

Can I settle a personal injury claim out of court?

In many cases, yes. A personal injury claim can be settled through negotiation, which can be cost-effective and fast. However, if the liable party is not willing to settle a case through negotiation, a case may need to go to court.
